Technology has done a lot to make our lives easier and more efficient. But parents concerned
about the negative impact that device such a smart phone can have on children. Actually parents
should be worried about the negative impact a smart phone could have on child’s growth (Casey
Imafidon).When you see a teen on the street, sitting in a car, eating at a fast food restaurant or
anywhere outside school, what are they likely to be doing? If your answer is staring at their smart
phone, that’s absolutely true (Bob Kellogg). And a new study done by the university of

Focusing on students,
make sure the student understands who actually owns the phone, that’s mean parents, insist on
knowing the code to unlock the phone and having access to all information on it (Marry Ann
2015). In addition to what mentioned above, parents can protect their children from bullying by
choosing a phrases that concern them. But the special solution is a “kids place” to grant them
more freedom and privacy, while still ensuring that they are protected (Paul Grossinger). Others

child with “dumb” phone for talk and text only (amta.org). The cited cause for the increase in
using children a Smartphone was an increase in protective parenting and the increase in personal
electronics (William Bowden 2013). Smart phones are here to stay, it can be useful and a
productive part of your child’s life if it was regulated accurately. But if smart phones were not
regulated, you will pay for those expensive costs that will be paid by child’s future.

becoming the most used tool by teens, so they will be amused (education.cu-portland.edu). Many
children would be energetic to use smart phones during studying. Also smart phones provide the
ability to get quick answers, and then it could be helpful to get quick answers quickly, in some

world (education.cu-portland.edu). Smart phones allow students to work in groups, for example
on projects; also they can share information and discovering in front of the whole world.
Smart phones like a cancer disease, which spreads more and more inside our societies, our
homes. It affects adults, parents, and children. It has an effect in all ages. But everything turns
around the children, also their future, more than adults. Since smart phones is a fashion for
young children. Because they are not mature enough to its negative impacts, and attracted to it in

Kids today are too attached to their phones, but adults lead the examples. Children watch their parents to see how to act around others. When we are too attached to our technology then our kids learn that it is all they need and they lose the connections they make out in the world. Many experts say that technology is replacing parenting and children aren’t feeling the way they should towards their parents.

Turkle states that, “the mere presence of a phone on a table between them (two people) or in the periphery of their vision changes both what they talk about and the degree of connection they feel.” While this may be true, along with the other studies on how technology is detrimental to society, there as also positives aspects that contribute to society as well. “It is not about giving our phones but about using them with greater intention” (Turkle). This quote by Turkle embodies how I feel about the technology debate and the more new technology and phones have developed the more we have analyzed whether or not they are good for our society, and at what age kids should use them.
There is really no limit to the things that can be done on a smartphone. Yet, with all this information streaming through our population’s mind, no knowledge or substance is gained.

With phones always at our fingertips, society is becoming increasingly immersed in technology and media,
To what extent are children and teenagers on their phones and expected to answer the phone as soon as someone calls? Sherry Turkle states in “Growing Up Tethered” that “today’s young people have grown up with robot pets and on the network in a fully tethered life” (430). This essay explains why teenagers in today’s world are hidden behind their phones and don’t have enough space from their parents. Compare teenagers now and teenagers from 30 years ago, they both are in the same situation. Teenagers now and teenagers from 30 years ago have the same responsibilities.
